January update:

January:
Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams PC Engine
Ninja Five-O Switch
Humanity PS5
Total: 3 games

3 games this month - Humanity and Ninja Five-O were from Limited Run, both games I purchased last year.

It's been quite a while since I last bought a game for PC Engine, so I splashed out on one of my most wanted for the system.

January pick-ups!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

I've wanted to check out the other games in the Persona series, as I've only played a chunk of Revelations: Persona at my friend's place around the time it was released and a brief revisit a few years back. Strangely, I kept coming across sealed copies of Persona 3 and Persona 4 in my area, but I finally found used ones in good shape.

I'm aware that both titles have significant run times, so I probably won't start them until I'm in the mood for a lengthier RPG. The art style and darker vibe is attractive to me, so I'm looking forward to finally diving into these.

You guys can obviously post however you like, but for me personally, I would love to know where you guys are getting your games (online, in a store, little story) and for how much. This thread just reads like a wall of game names at the moment.

Again people can do whatever they want, but it just doesn't really drive any conversation. my 2c.

[REPO Man]

Mostly, I buy games digitally. If I do buy a game physically, it'll usually be an import or out-of-print. Other than that, I'll usually buy a Switch game physically if the digital release would take up a lot of space.
